# AWS brings Web Search on Bedrock AgentCore to general availability

> Amazon has moved Web Search on Bedrock AgentCore into general availability, giving AI agents built on AWS a managed way to pull in current information from the open web. The feature lets developers filter results by domain, with include or exclude lists of up to 100 sites, and by publication date, all on a per-call basis, so an agent can be told exactly where and how recently to look. The design detail that matters is containment. Search results stay within the customer's own AWS account, with no data exfiltration, which is the kind of guarantee regulated industries need before they let autonomous agents roam the web. AWS also expanded availability to its Ireland and Tokyo regions alongside existing US East hosting. On its own this is a plumbing update, but it reflects a broader shift. Grounding agents in fresh, source-controlled web data is becoming table stakes, and the vendors racing to build agent platforms are competing on exactly these unglamorous controls: recency, provenance and keeping sensitive queries inside the customer's walls.
